Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 353 - There’s Nothing Between Us (1)Xiao Rufeng arrived earlier at Bluemedia to meet Su Xiaofei that day. Although Su Xiaofei had now assumed her new position as the head of the company, she remained the manager of her talents, and that included Xiao Rufeng.
Xiao Rufeng had already debuted in the industry for some time now, yet, her growth as an actress was lacking over the past years since her debut. Although she occasionally received projects from time to time, none of it was enough to boost her popularity in the industry.
She sat in silence as she pondered about Su Xiaofei's sudden decision to have her audition for a major role. This hadn't happened before, and she wasn't sure if she would be able to live up to her manager's expectations.
'Demonville' was a film that would be directed by a famous filmmaker. The film was based on a popular horror webcomic series that had been serialized for several years in the past, and it was one of Xiao Rufeng's favorites to read in her free time when she was still a new recruit in Bluemedia. While she was nervous to audition for the female lead role, she knew that if she managed to get the role, it could help her boost her career and popularity.
"Miss Xiao, let's go."
Su Xiaofei's voice startled Xiao Rufeng and she immediately rose from her seat and followed her manager to the elevator. She nervously stood still and willed herself to calm down.
"You have to calm down and give everything you have for this audition." She heard Su Xiaofei say. "It's not every day that we can encounter such a great opportunity."
Xiao Rufeng knew that her manager was right. She decided to do her best this time, so she wouldn't have any regrets later.
When they arrived at the audition venue, Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow when she saw Ye Mingyu stepping out with Mo Yuchen next to her. The two stopped in their tracks upon seeing her. Both had different reactions on their faces.
Ye Mingyu was surprised to see her coming today, while Mo Yuchen looked at her with complex emotions Su Xiaofei couldn't explain, not that she was bothered by what he thought of her anyway.
"Ah, CEO Mo, it's been a while." Su Xiaofei smiled at Mo Yuchen before giving Ye Mingyu a mocking look. "How nice of you to accompany Miss Ye on her audition. For someone who runs a massive entertainment agency, you surely know how to dote on another company's newbie."
Her words provoked Ye Mingyu, but that latter could only endure it no matter how much she wanted to give Su Xiaofei a good beating.
Mo Yuchen stiffened at her words and frowned. He chose to ignore her remarks and acknowledged Ye Mingyu instead.
"As per our agreement, this would be the last time. You better stay true to your words." He told Ye Mingyu, giving Su Xiaofei one last look before leaving on his own.
Su Xiaofei hummed and cupped her chin in one hand, wondering what Mo Yuchen meant by his words. It made her think that her assumption about Ye Mingyu striking some kind of deal with him was on point.
Ye Mingyu felt uncomfortable being left on her own by Mo Yuchen. She hated that he didn't even give her some face in front of Su Xiaofei.
Even Su Xiaofei's reaction when she saw them together was far from what Ye Mingyu expected to see from her. Didn't Su Xiaofei used to be head over heels for Mo Yuchen? So how come she was acting indifferent towards him now?
What was Su Xiaofei doing here, anyway? It wasn't like she could audition for the same role that led her to stardom. It was only then did Ye Mingyu notice that Su Xiaofei had brought Xiao Rufeng with her.
Annoyance filled Ye Mingyu's heart as she thought of how Su Xiaofei kept ruining her plans. She considered the possibility of Su Xiaofei being reborn, but that would be impossible, as Su Xiaofei wasn't even aware of her existence in her previous life.
The Su Xiaofei in her previous life was a sheltered person. Someone who never tasted bitterness in life. Everything she wanted was handed to her without working for it. Ye Mingyu hated the fact that while she and her mother were being constantly harassed by loan sharks, Su Xiaofei was living the life she always wanted.
"President Su shouldn't be mad with CEO Mo, there's nothing between us." She said in an innocent tone, implying that Su Xiaofei's crude remarks were because she was jealous seeing her ex-fiancé with Ye Mingyu.
When Ye Mingyu heard that Su Xiaofei succeeded her mother at Bluemedia, she was filled with bitterness. Why was Su Xiaofei leading a better life than her? Her father had also contributed a lot for Bluemedia, and yet she couldn't even take advantage of it.
She had thought that with her father's help and Bluemedia's backing, her career would sail smoothly without encountering too many obstacles, but it didn't happen because of Su Xiaofei's involvement.
What was the point of being reborn if she wasn't able to improve the quality of her life and if she remained inferior compared to Su Xiaofei?
Xiao Rufeng and Zhang Ling were both appalled by Ye Mingyu's audacity. If anything, Ye Mingyu should be the one who needed to worry about herself, given how other people were throwing odd looks her way.
Su Xiaofei's lips curled up as if Ye Mingyu just told her a funny joke, making the latter uncomfortable. She knew that she had become a joke in everyone's eyes.
"Miss Ye must be joking. CEO Mo and I have parted ways a long time ago and there's no attachment left between us.. Why do you insist on implying that you two are together? Why do you care so much? Don't tell me you're the reason why he broke his engagement with Huang Jingjing?" Su Xiaofei sighed dejectedly as she looked at Ye Mingyu.
